This year’s BirdFest includes nearly 20 great tours to prime birding spots on the 240-mile long Alabama Coastal Birding Trail, two exciting evening events, and a free day-long Bird & Conservation Expo.

“This year we are repeating some of our most popular tours from past festivals, and adding something new,” said John Borom, president of Mobile Bay Audubon Society, one of the event’s sponsors. “We have three new tours to Dauphin Island that include an excursion on Mobile Bay on the Dauphin Island Sea Lab research vessel, the A.E. Verrill, a 65-foot ocean-going craft. Not only will we see the birds of Mobile Bay, but marine biologists from the Dauphin Island Sea Lab will be with us to examine specimens caught in a trawl.”
